I know this in the description, but I just wanted to let you guys know that you are free to talk about anything here. Use any words you need. Just don't make fun of people. That is all I ask. And if you don't feel comfortable saying something on here, feel free to send me a message and I will do the best I can to give you advice. Now..I am not the best person to give advice, but people say I do a pretty good job. But like I said, feel free to speak your mind. Have fun. And if there is something you would like to add about this group, go ahead and start a discussion. Talk to you later =]

I understand that completely. Sorry it took so long. As I see it, you can choose to be whatever you want to be. No one can force any religion on you. So if you wanna be Buddhist, that is great. But if you want to try something else, go for it. Good luck :)
